I think you’ll be into Virginia Tech, but your SAT score is a bit borderline. UVa is a reach in my opinion, it’s very competitive in state (and even more so out of state) but I think you have a chance if you can raise your SAT score. Good luck! I’m a senior applying to those schools for Engineering too.

I agree - SAT score seems low for UVA but courses are great.
